However, to Konsole's credit, running one console with 40,000 tabs is a hell of a lot less resource intensive than running 40,000 xterms or 40,000 rvxts. > I have not carefully examined memory usage under KDE 3.1, but I do not > see much use of swap space on my 384 MB system.

I've got 631MB of RAM, and I don't start seeing swap getting touched until I've been running UT for a long time while other stuff's going on in the background, or when I've got a few users logged in. > I've never liked IceWM.
